I’m more supportive of two meetings a year, as it will help us get more done. Heck, we
could even hold our meetups on weekends like D.C. does, as it would allow for us to get
more done, and get more involvement from those of us who have class or work on Mondays. In
terms of social media, we have had a Facebook page that has been semi-active for over a
year (
https://www.facebook.com/WikimediaNewEngland), and it has helped to make our chapter
more known. I have also drafted up (or copied and modified) documents on our page
(
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_New_England) that have the ability to provide a
basic framework on how to run our organization. Overall, we do have a basic structural
framework, and I have been told that we need to start thinking about submitting a formal
application to the chapters committee once we decide we want to officially incorporate.

The general meeting is, from my understanding, scheduled like that so that we get it in
right before we lose all the college students that leave for the summer. That makes sense
to me, so I'd rather not change it.

I don't see any reason why a general meeting can't happen sooner or later.
If the document is ready and has enough support in 2 or 3 months from
now we could meet then.
Anyway, yes it's good to bring this up again and get some balls rolling.
